First Ride with my Fiance

Today, my fiance and I went for a bike ride. We loaded our bikes onto the car, packed water and food, and took the bikes over to the Schuylkill River Trail, and then took off on our first ride. We went down to the end of the path, right before it turns into gravel. We didn't want to risk going on the gravel and didn't want to take the other option, the road. So, we turned around and rode back. Good thing we'd made that decision. We ended up riding into the wind for most of the way back. We practiced drafting a little bit so we didn't both have to cut the wind on our own. It was a lot of fun. I can't wait to do it again.
